Design & development of the HYDRIA project, presenting information about the collection, storage, and distribution of water in the Mediterranean basin in Antiquity. 2009-2010.

makebelieve design & consulting designed and developed the HYDRIA project, a website which presents, with multimedia, information regarding the collection, storage & distribution of water in the Mediterranean basin in Antiquity. The website was created by our collaborators minimatik for the Mediterranean Information Office for Environment, Culture and Sustainable Development (MIO-ECSDE). In addition to the images and text, written by the project's partners in English and Arabic, four animated simulations were created to depict the following:

• water management of the Gheris and the Figuig oasis in Morocco
• water management at Ventotene Island in Italy
• water Management in Prehistoric Crete, specifically at Choiromandres, Zakros
